I switched to night-shift work (11:00PM-9:00AM) few years ago. I always functioned better at night, and when I was working during the day - I'd still stay up most of the night doing other stuff, like playing with bands, or recording my music. That often resulted in sleep deprivation, high stress levels, physical exhaustion, depression, problems at work and limited social life.
Since I've been working nights I work on a regular schedule, with no double shifts, which allows me to sleep more regularly and feel much less stressed out. I work on my own, which is a huge benefit, since I'm not good at dealing with other people, especially when they're dumb. I also gave up making music for the time being (or at least that's what I've been telling myself, for quite a while), still have almost no social life and I'm still usually depressed - but you can't have everything, I suppose.
